SteamDraw the vector-oriented GFX-program for MorphOS is now available in version 2.1. The following (and more) changes have been made over version 2.0:

• use of cairo as shared library instead of linklib
• removal of fill-option "Gradient", cairo seems to have some issues with keeping track of used memory here
• fill-option "Picture" is now rotated when it's object is
• removed some serious bugs,
• SteamDraw runs now again in only 1 task but extra meassures to minimize CPU-load and lagging are still included.
